We teamed up with the Target Corporation for a proactive enforcement operation at our local Target store. The mission was clear: disrupt organized retail crime, stop ongoing theft, and keep our shopping centers safe through proactive surveillance and rapid intervention.
Thanks to the seamless teamwork between our officers and Target’s asset protection team, the operation successfully removed a dangerous weapon and multiple offenders from our streets.
The Results:
3 Felony arrests
2 Misdemeanor arrests
Approx. $1,000 in stolen merchandise recovered
1 Illegally possessed, loaded handgun seized.
We deeply value our local business owners and workers. We remain committed to working hand in hand with them to prevent crime, protect their livelihoods, and ensure a safe environment for everyone who lives, works, and shops in Antioch.
